Housesitter - A Story by Lord Séamus Blær de Maxwell

Once there was a mousy little woman who lived in Garland. She came to believe Garland to be a suburb of a particularly cheerless hell. So she got a better job, saved her money, and found a little house in the magic land of Lakewood. Lakewood is part of that broad urban belt that girds the tiny downtown of Dallas, Texas from the subhuman suburbs. The house she found was a cozy little dwelling with pale brick walls, witchy meadows instead of lawns, a red Spanish tile roof, and a round green door like the door of Bag End.

Tournament Day in a Medieval Town

Persona of the Month: Cian Mac Ceallachain Uí Dubhlaich

Being a card carrying member of the SCA is always fun. It's even better when you hear stories about people that you have yet to meet. One of the first people I was fortunate to meet was Lord Cian Mac Ceallachain Uí Dubhlaich from Nottinghill Coill. Cian is our current Triton Herald, the head of the Kingdom's College of Heralds that supervises both field and court heraldry, along with making sure names and devices are processed in a timely manner. To start a new series of articles, I had asked Cian about his SCA career and a few other questions. This month's Persona of the Month goes to Cian!

A New Theater Group Emerges!

I've caught word that Gavin Reynes has started a group to encourage the study and/or practice of period theater in the Barony, including our Cousins from Hidden Mountain and other baronies and branches of the SCA that might be interested.

With all aspects of medieval theater up for discussion, there's also encouragement of the actual practice of theater, perhaps presenting plays at events in Nottinghill Coill and possibly across our borders. He has also created a Facebook group to help coordinate, post research, and share the love of an art.  [Link opens in new window]

I would like to encourage everyone to take a look and absorb what they can from this, thus expanding the large spectrum that the SCA offers.
